  1. Neon By: Cristina Tzintzun(:

  2. Basic • Atomic Number: 10 • Atomic Mass: 20.1797 amu • Primary form: found in rocks in the crust of the earth Atomic Structure Raw Neon Gas

  3. Properties • Primary State: Gas • Boiling Point: -415.48o F • Melting Point: -410.98o F (these numbers are low compared to Sulfur. Its melting point – 239.38o F and it’s boiling point – 832.28o F) • Reactivity: Non-reactive

  4. Common Uses • Advertising signs • Television tubes • Wave meter tube • Lightning arrestor Neon Sign Lightning Arrestor

  5. History • Who: Sr. William Ramsay & one of his students Morris W. Travers • When: 1898 • Where: London, England • How: found as a small fraction of liquefied crude argon from the air

  6. Comparison • Low atomic number because the highest on the periodic table is 114. • Its between Helium (He) & Argon (Ar) which are both Noble Gases just like Neon (:

  7. Interesting Facts • Neon does not effect the environment because its chemically unreactive and forms no compounds • Name comes from the Greek word “neon” which means new.
